It was a wonderful historical coverage documentary about an Irish doctor adventure during WW2. What Japanese empire military efforts committed atrocities against civilians in far eastern Asian countries exactly 💯 reflected beasts reality of Japanese culture and daytime deals of Japanese people's, one personal experience remains a bright star 🌟 beneath whole bloody, bleack, darkness WW2 Tableau
